Residential Properties Ltd. is pleased to announce that Realtor® Judy Croyle has joined the company as the latest Sales Associate for their Providence Office. Croyle brings 14 years of success to RPL and will be a welcomed addition to the brokerage.

“I am super excited about joining Residential,” exclaims Croyle. “I have done many transactions with RPL agents and it will be great to join the team.”

Judy has received the Greater Providence Board of Realtors’ “Circle of Sales Excellence Award” during each of the past three years. Earning her designation as a Providence Preservation Society Historic House Specialist, Judy is uniquely qualified to assist buyers looking to purchase historic homes and antique fixer-uppers. As someone who prides herself on being environmentally conscious, Judy has also earned her Green Designation from the National Association of Realtors®, and is happy to share her knowledge with clients regarding the top factors they should consider when looking to reduce their footprint.

When asked why she decided to make the move to Residential Properties, Croyle pointed to the company’s strong Relocation Department, their generous support for non-profit organizations, and their comprehensive marketing and technology tools for agents and clients.

Regarding her future goals and aspirations, Croyle said “I’m really looking forward to having the opportunity to take my business to the next level. I love what I do and take great pride in the relationships that I form with my clients, so I’m excited to start working with so many other serious full time agents.”

Prior to becoming a licensed Realtor® in 2004, Judy enjoyed two decades as a business owner and sales & marketing professional. Having graduated with a BFA from The School for American Craftsmen, Rochester Institute of Technology, Judy still enjoys making her own pottery in her basement, as well as entertaining guests, cooking, and going on scenic walks to the water with her dog, Andi.

“I am thrilled to announce the new partnership of Kira Greene and Michael Sweeney,” says RPL President & CEO Sally Lapides. “Individually, each is an extraordinary real estate professional. Together, they will bring their expertise, experience and energy to another of Residential Properties Ltd.’s successful partnerships.”

Growing up on the East Side of Providence, Sweeney got his first real estate itch at the young age of just 11 years old when he accompanied his mother and father to an open house. After attending Wheeler School and La Salle Academy, Sweeney went on to graduate from the University of Rhode Island. Following three years of working in New York, he made the decision to return to Rhode Island and follow his passion for real estate full-time. This past year, he exceeded $10 million in sales, earning the 2017 Circle of Sales Excellence Gold Award.

“If I could dream up the perfect business partner, I couldn’t do better than Michael Sweeney,” explains Kira Greene. “Michael is a genuinely exceptional human being, with real estate superpowers. I know if he were to see a client in my place, I would get a call raving about how stellar he is at his job and what a joy it was to work with him.”

When asked about his decision to join RPL, Sweeney was quick to point out his admiration for Kira Greene as well. “One of the biggest reasons I chose to come to Residential Properties was the fact that I knew I was going to be starting something unique, fresh and brilliant when it came to teaming with an agent I respect and admire. Kira has been someone I have loved working with, someone who’s approach to representing her clients has inspired me to be a better agent, and someone who’s work ethic is unparalleled – which is something I admire very much.”

A native New Yorker, Kira Greene moved to Providence in 1997. Her professional background in advertising, interactive marketing and sales, and client account management allowed her to make a successful transition into real estate. Today, she has earned numerous awards and honors, compiling over $20 million in sales last year while earning the 2017 Circle of Sales Excellence Platinum Award and being named to Real Trends’ list of “America’s Best Real Estate Professionals.”

Despite achieving so much success on their own, both Greene and Sweeney understand the advantages of working as part of a team.

“As partners, we can provide our clients with 24/7 accessibility to the highest level of service in our industry,” explains Sweeney. “Greene | Sweeney is something I feel will benefit any buyer or seller because of our complete synchrony in understanding and truly caring for our clients from the beginning to the end of the transaction, and even after – making this sometimes difficult process fun and comfortable throughout every step.”
